A sausage-like bump on each side of my face after a deep plane facelift that makes me unhappy?

Bridget1212
I had a deep plane facelift done 63 days ago. What can these sausage-like bumps be? They are soft. Its not swelling. (I have no swelling elsewhere) And they appear more when I speak. My surgeon is very skilled and says he wants to wait at least 6 month has passed. But in the meantime, could you please tell me what you think it is and if you think there is a way for my surgeon to remove them? I am very happy with everything but these bumps looks very strange and it makes me unhappy.
